check fuse box for any blown fuses? get a handbook workshop manual for your car.

ECM is shorted internally. I've seen it in many makes and models. In different years. If the car runs fine and isn't getting terrible gas mileage. Leave it alone. Just check for codes every couple months, or if the gas consumption goes up. If the light bothers you, do like most, put a piece of tape over it. To fix the problem, you have to replace the ECM and have it programmed.

Simple method without mystery:

1. Turn blinker flashers on;
2. Listen for clicking;
3. Find source of clicking. It is the flasher. :)

NOTE: Emergency flashers and blinkers usually use a separate flasher unit, but one is close to the other. If your blinkers do not work but your emergency flashers do, find the emergency flasher unit by finding the source of clicking, then locate the blinker flasher nearby. They will ALWAYS be underneath the dashboard on the driver side.

replace the flashers
